Welcome!!!

Hello and Welcome to our Blog!!!  I'll get right to the point here, as I have a tendency to be long-winded at times.

Who are we? 

We're a group of women who love to move!  It really is that simple.  We love to move, explore, plan adventure jams, eat sushi, hang out, and play.  We're like a biker gang, but without the bikes.  However, don't be surprised if we all decide to start our own biker gang, just because we felt like it.  We explore our world, mainly on foot, and being outdoors, is our thing.  This group was founded by the Women's Parkour Team "Eagle & Hawk PK" out of Free Flow Academy in Rocklin, CA.  But we're not just a team, we are a community, and our desire is to reach out and expand ourselves through the internet. 

What is the point of this blog?

We love to share, and make new friends.  Especially women.  Sisterhood is on the run these days, and we feel women need to band together, appreciate each other, and build each other up.  We're going to use our love of movement and our hobbies and interests to bring together women from all walks of life, to help build up a community and a dialogue.  We also wish to share insights, experiences, and stories so that we can laugh and cry together, as well as inspire each other.

Can I join your group? 

Hellzzzz YES!!!!  That's why we're starting this blog.  To bring women together.  If you aren't local - no worries!  Our goal is to create a sisterly network.  That way, when we're out adventure jamming all over the world, we have friends we can connect with!  We're a team, we're a community, we're a network.

What if I'm a beginner at Parkour?

Aren't we all beginners in some degree?  No matter what your level and experience, we aren't going to exclude you.  We're all here to learn and have fun.  No one is going to Alpha you around.

How do I participate?

The first step would be to follow the blog, and participate in the discussions.  Comment and engage.  Guest bloggers are encouraged.  We want to hear your voice, and your experiences!  However, this is not a soap box for complaints and trivial matters.  Please keep dialogue positive and uplifting.  We want to see cool pictures of where you have been, or "secret spots" you may have discovered on your journey of adventuring.  Let's be clear about one thing - we are pioneers, and explorers.  Everything you write should be becoming of such. 

What if I have ideas to contribute?

AWESOME!!!  We and the whole group would love to hear them!  We're here to serve you in a way that is meaningful and useful, not only to ourselves, but to you!  If you want us to plan an adventure jam, we'll do it!  If you want to organize an event, and use our network as a calling torch, then so be it.  We're here to help in any way we can that means building up your ability to explore and reach out to other women around you.

Does Eagle & Hawk PK have a mission?

Yes.  We do.  Its' a song by the late John Denver.  See below:

I am the eagle, I live in high country in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky.
I am the hawk, and there's blood on my feathers.
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry.
And all those who see me, and all who believe in me
share in the freedom I feel when I fly.

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops.
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars.
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
and all that we can be, and not what we are.
